MASON CITY – Artwork from Carl Homstad, from Deborah, is now featured in exhibition at the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum in Mason City.
Homstad graduated from Luther College in 1973 with a BA in Art. He is a painter, muralist, and printmaker. While this exhibition focuses on his printmaking, his paintings and murals also capture the character and landscape of Iowa.
“Each artwork I create is a combination. As a cook combines ingredients to make a meal, natural elements are put in or left out, made bigger or smaller, moved here or there. A place and time are combined to show nature at extraordinary moments, such as the last rays of the sun or the snow falling in the afternoon. Different places are combined to make an interesting composition of abstract shapes, as when earth and sky fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.”
Carl Homstad: A Life of Printmaking is sponsored by the Alliant Energy Foundation and the John K. and Luise V. Hanson Foundation.
The exhibition opened this month and will run through Saturday, February 28, 2015.
Please join the Museum in welcoming Carl Homstad during our Holiday: Off the Clock event on Friday, December 12 from 5-7 p.m. This fun, festive event is free and open to the public.
